Diet Week 5

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Yesterday I did my fifth weigh in yesterday and I’m 237.8 pounds, which means I’ve lost 15 pounds, or just over a stone for my relatives in England. So, that’s about three pounds per week on average which is pretty good. This is the most I’ve lost and longest I’ve stuck to a dietary change [...]

In a Bind…

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

I wish I could say when it rains it pours, but that seems like a horrible pun right now given our situation is LACK of water. There is an issue with our well, a probably very expensive issue with our well.
I’m extremely perturbed by this especially given the state of our finances, but living WITHOUT [...]

Dietary Update

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

Exercise is continuing to be a problem. I’ve thought before about treadmills, although hubbie feels that a tred climber might be better for me until my knees get stronger. In the mean time I’ve been doing step work on our stair case and re-training myself with my old ballet techniques; but I’m still not doing [...]

Sanford Zoo

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

We had a great day out on Friday at the zoo. It was a lot more exciting for the munchkin now that he understands more about his surroundings and what’s going on. We went through everything we saw last time and the new exhibits as well. Apparently the zoo is looking to get some tigers [...]

4th Anniversary

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

I’ve been married four years today. It doesn’t seem that long some times, but our son is three next month so it has to have been. He was born just after our first anniversary.
Marriage has been a long strange trip, but at least we’re taking it together. I tend to consider that my husband is [...]

I've Lost my Feeds!

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Some thing I realized a few days ago but until now haven’t had time to do anything about–I’ve lost all my RSS feeds. This is frustrating me because I used to have them through Thunderbird; but I’ve been trying out PostBox and I’m not seeing anywhere to add feed subscriptions to PostBox right at the [...]

Distressing! Silly! Must by Sci Fi er…SyFy

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

I just heard some thing which I consider completely and utterly stupid! SciFi is turning into SyFy channel because they apparently want to shed their geeky image. Urm…I thought that’s what being a SciFi channel was all about! I’ve been wondering for some time why SciFi has been adding really stupid things to their line [...]

Comics

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

I used to read so many comics online but now I’m really out of the loop. I’ve just been catching up on one: Akashik Online which a friend of mine writes. I lost touch with things while we were without a computer and I’ve been doing other less fun forms of catch up.
I’m excited to [...]

Diet Update

Friday, March 13th, 2009

I’m actually very proud of how the diet is going despite the cost on the pocket book. There really aren’t any costs to be put on good health, despite how frustrating it is.
In the past two weeks I’ve lost thirteen pounds. My doctor had been wondering about weight loss pills but has decided given I’m [...]
